The year is 2003. Eric Bischoff is the corrupt General Manager of the Raw brand, where Lita has returned from neck surgery and was both dumped by Matt Hardy and fired upon her return. Christian saved her job, but insofar as comeuppance, one week later, Bischoff has a plan. On an episode from Salt Lake City, Utah, the infamous Raw Roulette wheel is spun by then Women's Champion Molly Holly and the result is Lita and Victoria wrestling in the first women's steel cage match in WWE history. Five minutes later, Victoria is the winner via Matt Hardy's interference. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdzedd_wwe-raw-lita-vs-victoria-steel-cage_sport Not exactly a five-star spectacle, it -- like so many other moments in Bischoff's era as Raw GM -- certainly was provocative and got people talking.
Besides having been an independent professional wrestling manager for a decade, Marcus Dowling is a Washington, DC-based writer who has contributed to a plethora of online and print magazines and newspapers writing about music and popular culture over the past 15 years.
